South Carolina’s largest health system adopts Philips software
solutions for patient monitoring and enterprise imaging, helping to
drive interoperability and data analytics, and deliver on Quadruple
Aim
Amsterdam, the Netherlands and South Carolina, USA –
Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health
technology, and Prisma Health, South Carolina's largest non-profit
healthcare system, today announced they have entered into a
multi-year agreement to help the health system achieve enterprise
interoperability, standardize patient monitoring, and drive
innovation in enterprise imaging solutions to enhance patient care
and improve clinical performance. As South Carolina’s largest
private, non-profit healthcare system, and second-largest private
company, Prisma Health wants to deliver on the quadruple aim:
improve patient and staff satisfaction, lower costs, and improve
outcomes for all South Carolinians.
Prisma Health was formed in 2017 when Greenville Health System
and Palmetto Health, two of South Carolina’s most highly regarded
healthcare systems, came together as one organization. Today,
Prisma Health has nearly 3,000 licensed beds and 18 acute care and
specialty hospitals, as well as 270 physician practices servicing
21 counties. They treat over one million unique patients across
their networks each year, including 368,000 virtual care visits,
and just under half a million emergency department visits.
“When our two regional healthcare organizations merged, an
enterprise-wide technology strategy became critical to standardize
best practices across the whole system, creating new bridges
between hospital and home care and continuing to drive innovation,”
said Rich Rogers, Senior Vice President, Chief Information Officer,
Prisma Health. “At Prisma Health, we wanted to engage a
partner to help us address data integration and unlock the power of
patient data so that we are able to provide our patients with the
best care anywhere in our service areas. We want to put the right
tools into the hands of our clinicians to allow them to better
share information, collaborate and help transform care for the
communities we serve."
With the Philips HealthSuite secure cloud platform at its
foundation, Philips is committed to enterprise interoperability.
Philips’ solutions portfolio includes real-time patient monitoring,
therapeutic devices, telehealth, image management and informatics
solutions including radiology and cardiology PACS, advanced
visualization, vendor neutral archive (VNA) and Philips Enterprise
Viewer – Vue Motion, and interoperability solutions, including the
industry-leading Philips Capsule Medical Device Information
Platform. Prisma Health will not only have access to these
technologies, they will also be the largest installation of the
Philips Enterprise Performance Analytics – Performance Bridge –
analytics platform in North America. Performance Bridge gives
healthcare professionals access to near real-time data on
departmental performance through an easy-to-use interactive
dashboard. Vendor agnostic, Performance Bridge unifies information
across different imaging modalities and informatics solutions to
optimize organizational efficiency, drive adherence to standards of
care and facilitates additional revenue streams. Prisma Health
plans to use Performance Bridge to drive innovation and monitor
their delivery of quality healthcare.
“At Philips, we made a deliberate decision to create an
end-to-end enterprise strategy that will help our customers
overcome interoperability barriers and enable data sharing,” said
Vitor Rocha, Chief Market Leader for Philips North America. “Health
systems shouldn’t have to worry about integrating technology, which
is why we have developed vendor-agnostic solutions based on
standards and frameworks that bring together data from
applications, systems, and devices. This allows our partners to
focus on what is most important to them and their patients –
continuously improving the patient journey and outcomes.”
Long-term strategic partnerships (LSPs) are a growing trend
within hospitals and health systems to better manage the cost and
complexity of their technology investments over a defined period of
time, while expanding quality access to advanced medical care to
improve patient outcomes. Philips is a leader in LSPs and continues
to work with forward-thinking organizations like Prisma Health to
develop standards, best practices, and predictive technologies that
can redefine the future of healthcare.
